One of the most common problems users have is getting sound working and one of the most common basic tests recommended is to cat(1) an audio file to /dev/audio; but there is no .au file in the base system. I think it would be a good idea to include one, it doesn't have to be a big file (there is a 3-second one included with python(1) that is only ~23KB), and give it a meaningful name, e.g. sound_test.au Thoughts? -- 4.4 - The number of the Beastie ________________________________________________________________ 51.44°N FreeBSD - The Power To Serve http://www.freebsd.org 2.057°W My Webpage http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~mark mailto:marko@freebsd.org http://www.radan.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
